Circulation Jumps to 44,000; Regular Publication Schedule Begins; School System Recognizes Program: In January 1981, we begin publishing eight issues of NYC during the school year. A marketing project increases circulation to 44,000 by June. The school system allows students to receive school credit for their work on the magazine.
